Parents of Salisbury Academy: A supportive community

Dear Salisbury Academy Parents:

As the PSA (Parents of Salisbury Academy) president, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the PSA! The PSA offers a wide variety of volunteer opportunities and ways to get involved. Whether dropping off a contribution for a classroom party, cleaning up the campus on the annual Spruce-Up Day, or chairing a PSA event, there truly is something for every person and every unique schedule.

For an overview of opportunities to get involved in your child's class and school-wide events, here are links for each class:

Those who are able, join us for our monthly meetings on the first Tuesday of each month at 8:05 a.m. Up next, the PSA looks forward to hosting our school's biggest musical event of the year, Grandpersons' Day on October 19. View your child's class link if you'd like to get involved!

SA's fourth and eighth grades give a sneak peek of the fun and soulful tunes that will be sung at the

SA Grandpersons' Day 2018 performance!

Dr. Rob's adrenaline is running super-high these days regarding the upcoming Grandpersons' Day concert on October 19. Looking ahead to the exciting performance which will feature hits from the 1980's, Dr. Rob shares:

I think I'm finding the 80's music even more exhilarating than I expected...which shouldn't have surprised me, because the symphonic rock of the 80's was prevalent on the radio when I was a young adult. But, what's even more amazing is how explosively the students have come out of the gate in embracing the music.

The performance promises to be a powerful concert that should not only leave the audience and the singers breathless, but myself as well. I mean, we're talking Journey, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Culture Club, The Bangles, The Go-Go's, Cyndi Lauper, Queen, Bonnie Tyler, Chicago, etc. We've even thrown in a dash of the 70's, with some Abba, Elton John, KC & the Sunshine Band, and the Bay City Rollers.

Seriously, I've been left out of breath just playing the concert through on the piano. It's so much fun! Hoping everyone can be there and see these wonderful students rocking the house!

Grandpersons' Day Info: Update your Grandparent contact info

Salisbury Academy looks forward to inviting all of the grand people in our students' lives to the Grandpersons' Day performance on October 19! Invitations will be mailed to SA grandparents in the weeks prior to the event.

If you would like to add or edit contact information for your child's grandparents, please do this through Parentsweb or by contacting Mrs. Goodnight.
